ASME code stamp
(OP)
This is kind of like the chicken or the egg question.
If a vessel is designed for over 15 PSIG and operated at less than 15 PSIG is an ASME stamp required?
If a vessel is designed for over 15 PSIG and operated at less than 15 PSIG is an ASME stamp required?

keep in mind jurisdictional/national regulations and law.
most, if not all, european countries dont mandate stamping.

So then, would not the operating pressure govern and not the design pressure as to whether or not the vessel requires a stamp?
RE: ASME code stamp
U-1(h) vessels not exceeding the design pressure (see 3-2), at the top of the vessel, limitations below, with no limitation on size [see UG-28(f), 9-1(c)]:
(1) vessels having an internal or external pressure not exceeding 15 psi (100 kPa);
UG-28(f) simply says that vessels intended for service under external design conditions of 15 psi or less can be stamped ... denoting compliance with the rules for external pressure.....
